It's surely Emacs' problem that the same iso-8859-2
character is represented in two ways internally. But,
incomplete support of COMPOUND_TEXT is GTK's (or some other
X client's) problem. As far as they react upon the request
of COMPOUND_TEXT, it should send the correct data (without
cutting off unsupported characters or replacing them with
'?' silenty). Otherwise, it shouldn't react upon that
request.

Of course, with Emacs-unicode, there's no such problem, and
I want to release it as soon as possible.
